Nebula
The Path of White Clouds
Nebula is not necessarily the first e-music
"supergroup." They might, however, be the strongest.
Oophoi, Klaus Wiese and Mathias
Grassow are readily recognizable as some of the e-
music community's strongest solo performers. Tau
Ceti, Lorenzo Pieroson, Mauro
Malgrande and Geert Verseke are not as
well-known but they are strong performers.
The Path of White Clouds is their second CD and it
is stronger than garlic. These seven artists combine
synths, bowls, samples, the zither, chants, and the shak
to create massive atmospheres and resonant
soundscapes. The drones are deep and incessant with
gray timbres. They intertwine and create atmospheres of
-- well -- clouds. The evolution from drones to
atmospheres involves a cleansing or bleaching so the
clouds are white. The path is the goal. The circle is
unbroken, thus endless. ~ Jim Brenholts
